Arguably one of the most respected cardiologists in Calgary, Dr. Michael Giuffre has all the qualifications we’re looking for. He has the expertise it takes and the character and ethics that have gained him a positive reputation among his patients and their families.

As a clinical professor of cardiovascular sciences and pediatrics, Dr. Guiffre has saved many children’s lives. He has treated numerous patients, especially those with congenital heart illnesses and is continuously helping many lead normal lives.

In fact, many of his current patients who have had illnesses of the heart since birth are still seeking his professional advice until they become adults. By the time they turn 18, he’d eventually refer them to other cardiologists who specialize in treating adults living with lifelong heart conditions.

Needless to say, his care for patients goes through their lifetimes, and the fact that babies born with heart conditions are able to grow into adults and lead normal lives says a lot about his expertise as a cardiologist.

He is the founder of Providence Pediatric Cardiology, a renowned clinic providing heart health care for children in Calgary.

For many of his patients and their families, he is known to be a personable doctor, who doesn’t get tired of explaining everything that his patients need to know. He makes sure his clients are well-informed about their condition and what actions should be taken.

This approach of his is very helpful for parents who are usually terrified upon learning that their kids have heart conditions.

Educating people is perhaps also second nature to him since he is also currently a clinical professor with a joint appointment in pediatrics and cardiac sciences at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine.

He is also very friendly with kids, and they love giving him visits.

Plus, he has remained punctual in appointments all throughout his years of serving as a doctor. However, his clinic’s website has no information about his exact clinic schedule, so we recommend giving them a call to inquire or to set an appointment.
